Q+A Zinc PCA skin serum review

Hey guys, it has been a while… A long while! I have been really unwell and not able to create content. But I’m back! To read a little bit about my ๐›๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ค ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐จ๐œ๐ข๐š๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐ž๐๐ข๐š, head to my Instagram via the link below :

Anyway, back to today’s blog post! Lately I’ve been obsessed with my skincare. As I’ve been recovering at home, my AM and PM skincare routine has been regular, at set times.

I’ve been investing in a lot of ๐’”๐’†๐’“๐’–๐’Ž๐’”… Can’t live with em, can’t live without em! There are so many, they all have different ingredients and promise different things… I love using multiple serums in my routine, rotating serums which target certain concerns simultaneously to deliver different ingredients and benefits to my skin on a daily basis. Keeping it fresh keeps my skin glowing and happy.

I discovered ๐+๐€ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐œ๐š๐ซ๐ž while browsing on the Holland and Barrett website and immediately fell in love with their serums. Most of them are minimalistic formulas and fragrance free! Plus they are vegan and nature friendly, considering animals and the environment. Most of the skincare are really fair in terms of price, and they sometimes have great discounts and offers!

The serum is available at Holland and Barrett, Feel Unique, Just my look and from Q + A skin themselves. Direct links are below (not affiliate codes):

~Zinc can play an important role in skin health. It’s needed for protein synthesis and is a vital antioxidant

~Zinc may protect skin from UV damage because of the way it behaves in relation to other metals in your body, like iron and copper.

~Zinc can also help your skin heal after an injury. It’s needed to keep cell walls stable and for cells to divide and specialize as they grow.


~This Zinc PCA serum helps to balance oil levels and minimise pores


~The formula contains Reishi and Shiitake Mushrooms to help banish redness and puffiness if you have irritated skin

If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that I love using more actives and moisture (as opposed to only mattifying ones) to balance my skin out and give it what it needs. 2 years ago when I went on my skin-loving journey, I began to use some more moisturising skincare products and more active serums. I focused on fragrance free, natural skincare with light formulas not full of harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances.

As I did this, I noticed that my skin started to change. My t-zone became less oily, within just a few weeks. So, I came to the conclusion that nourishing, treating and moisturising my skin, helped me to stop producing so much oil. My skin is now what I or consider ‘normal’. Hooray!

This serum really helped to balance my skins moisture levels. It does NOT mattify in my eyes, but it encourages a healthy level of moisture all round. It is non-greasy, absorbs almost instantly and it is a no-frills formula and price! I love that it is so lightweight and the clean and fresh feeling it leaves behind, plus zinc is not something that is present on any of my other skincare so I love including it in my routine. I will start using it more regularly in the weeks to come to see if it has a visible effect on my pores.

Most of all, I love the minimalistic formula which is also nature and vegan friendly, and does not contain alcohol or fragrance!

    I always hear of serums for hydration, but never for balance so I’m so glad that I stumbled across this
